BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a starting circuit of a single-phase induction motor.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] A known starting circuit of a single-phase induction motor used in a compressor of an electric refrigerator includes a motor starting positive characteristic thermistor and a triac connected in a serial connection which is in turn connected in series with an auxiliary coil for starting the motor. A triac control positive characteristic thermistor is connected in parallel with the motor starting positive characteristic thermistor. One terminal of the triac control positive characteristic thermistor is connected to a gate terminal of the triac.
[0005] In the starting circuit of the single-phase induction motor, a trigger signal, applied to the gate terminal of the triac through the triac control positive characteristic thermistor, causes the triac to be conductive. A motor starting cur...
